Pantheism, panentheism. A family of views dealing with the relation between God and the world. In contrast to
theism's stress on the total transcendence of God, both terms reflect an emphasis on divine
immanence. In pantheistic views, God and the world are essentially identical; the divine is totally immanent. In panentheistic views, the world exists in God (all reality is part of the being of God), but God is not exhausted by the world; the divine is both transcendent and immanent. Such views are often closely related to
mysticism.
